Samples were 33 pediatric patients and 25 adult patients diagnosed as dengue fever and dengue hemorrhargic feveraccording to WHO 1997 criteria underwent chest and abdominal ultrasonography on the first day of admission. The sonographicfindings in pediatric patients including hepatomegaly (39,4%), splenomegaly (6,1%), thickened gallblaDFer wall (51,5%), ascites(27,3%), perinephric fluid (15,2%) right and bilateral pleural effusion (15,2% and 21,2%). The sonographic findings in adultpatients including hepatomegaly (24%), splenomegaly (12%), thickened gallblaDFer wall (32%), ascites (24%), perinephric fluid(12%), right and bilateral pleural effusion (8% and 12%). There is significant correlation between the number of findings and theseverity of disease in pediatric patients (p < 0.05). Several pediatric patients clinically diagnosed as dengue fever hadultrasonographic findings of plasma leakage.
